Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 7 page paper that discusses why consistent and predictable care is essential for the emotional and social development of a child. This kind of care must begin immediately, even before birth because the brain is developing at that time. The writer includes information about brain development, Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, Bowlby's and Ainsworth's theories of attachment. Bowlby's study of 44 Juvenile Thieves and Ainsworth's Strange Situation experiments are included. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
the last decade or so, we have learned a deal about the development of the brain. Research suggests there is a four year period of time that is critical for
the development of a childs brain (Poster, 2007). That time begins at conception and continues until about the childs third birthday (Poster, 2007). Interestingly enough, Maria Montessori identified these very
same years as critical to the childs development in the early 1950s (Poster, 2007). She called it the time of the Absorbent Mind (Poster, 2007). Science has not confirmed Montessoris
theories (Poster, 2007). We also know that both heredity, i.e., genes, and the environment play crucial roles in development (Murray, 2003). The brains development, then, is a result of
genes/heredity as well as a consequence of experiences. This is true prenatal and in infancy, in fact, "the infants experience can have permanent effects on the wiring of the brain"
(Murray, 2003). Murray (2003) tells us that "infants go through a critical period of synaptical exuberance or a synaptical surge immediately after birth and during the first year of life"
(Murray, 2003). Scientists now believe that for optimal brain development, it is important to interact with the child during pregnancy and also to have good prenatal care (Bibel, 2002). After
birth, it is critical to interact with the infant, to touch and cuddle and talk with the infant, to provide a safe and nurturing environment (Murray, 2003). Remember that the
infants senses were already being developed during pregnancy. Touch is absolutely essential for the infant (Poster, 2007; Murray, 2003). Poster (2007) takes this need a bit further: "Touch, talking, and
things an infant sees and smells all build connections if done with continuity in a loving, consistent, and predictable manner." Notice the need for loving, consistent and predictable experiences.
